KOHIMA, AUGUST 24 (MExN): 'Dr Imkongliba Ao Martyrdom Day’ was observed at Raj Bhavan, Kohima on August 24.
In his short exhortation while paying his homage, Governor of Nagaland, La Ganesan stated that Dr Imkongliba Ao was a visionary who, about 60 years ago, foresaw a peaceful and prosperous Nagaland.
Had his opponents and critics heeded his vision then, the state would be in a far better situation today, he stated.
The Governor also emphasized that Nagas are just as talented and forward-thinking as any other communities in India, and thus, Nagaland should be as developed as any other state in the country.
Unfortunately, we lag behind others due to not paying heed to the guidance of pioneers and visionary leaders like Dr Imkongliba Ao, he added. He further urged the gathering to live as model citizens of the country so that the legacy of great personalities like Dr Imkongliba Ao would live on.
Joint Secretary to the Governor, Mhomo Tungoe, gave a brief profile of Dr ImkonglibAo. The program was attended by the officers and staff of Raj Bhavan, Kohima.
